Preferred Label : receptors, phencyclidine;
MeSH definition : Specific sites or molecular structures on cell membranes or in cells with which phencyclidine
reacts or to which it binds to elicit the specific response of the cell to phencyclidine.
Studies have demonstrated the presence of multiple receptor sites for PCP. These are
the PCP/sigma site, which binds both PCP and psychotomimetic opiates but not certain
antipsychotics, and the PCP site, which selectively binds PCP analogs.;
MeSH synonym : phencyclidine receptors; receptors, pcp; phencylidine receptor; receptor, phencylidine; pcp receptors; pcp receptor; receptor, pcp;
